Communication Apparatus, Communication Method and Communication System

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes a communication part which receives a notification concerning measurement information from a measurement equipment and receives a signal from a terminal apparatus, and a notification setting part to set a notification frequency of the measurement equipment according to content of the signal received from the terminal apparatus.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A communication apparatus comprising:
 a communication part which receives a notification concerning measurement information from a measurement equipment and receives a signal from a terminal apparatus; and   a notification setting part to set a notification frequency of the measurement equipment according to content of the signal received from the terminal apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the measurement equipment notifies the measurement information when a change of measurement value exceeds a specified threshold, and   the notification setting part sets the notification frequency by specifying the threshold.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the measurement equipment notifies at a notification time interval, and   the notification setting part sets the notification frequency by specifying the time interval.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when the signal is a control instruction to a control target equipment,   the communication part has a function to transmit the control instruction to the control target equipment, and   the notification setting part sets the notification frequency of the measurement equipment to be high before the communication part transmits the control instruction to the control target equipment.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when the signal is a signal to request notification content concerning the measurement information from the measurement equipment,   the notification setting part sets the notification frequency of the measurement equipment to be high.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when the signal is demand response information including a time,   the notification setting part sets the notification frequency of the measurement equipment to be high before the time.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when the signal is demand response information including a start time and a stop time,   the notification setting part sets the notification frequency of the measurement equipment to be high before the start time, and sets the notification frequency of the measurement equipment to be low after the stop time.   
     
     
         8 . A communication method in a communication apparatus which receives a notification from a measurement equipment and receives a signal from a terminal apparatus, comprising:
 receiving the notification and the signal; and   setting a notification frequency of the measurement equipment according to content of the signal.   
     
     
         9 . A communication system comprising a communication apparatus which receives a notification from a measurement equipment and receives a signal from a terminal apparatus, wherein
 the communication apparatus includes:   a reception part to receive the notification and the signal; and   a notification setting part to set a notification frequency of the measurement equipment according to content of the signal.
